Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bigfoot Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Hernando (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Wayne Feat. Mike Tyson - American Dream. Hernando has chosen HaunTed as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
